Paper summary: ABot-Earth 0.5: Generative 3D Earth Model
ABot-Earth 0.5 generates large, seamless 3D Gaussian Splatting environments from satellite images alone, at under 10 minutes per square kilometre, viewable in web map engines and usable as a simulator for UAV navigation.
- A generative model works directly in the 3D Gaussian Splatting representation, conditioned only on satellite imagery.
- Hierarchical level-of-detail lets the 3D cities stream in real time on web map engines.
